Problem Statement At current staffing levels and program offerings therapists cannot meet demand. Students in need of non-emergency care frequently wait-listed for services (max 2016 -17 wait list 102 days). Therapists scheduled to max capacity which triggers costly expediting/rescheduling when faced with “emergency” situations. Inability to meet with students early in a crisis cycle may lead to intentional or unintentional escalation of crisis.

Future State Process Script (explanation to students) “Our Counseling Services data and outside research

Future State Process Script (explanation to students) “Our Counseling Services data and outside research shows that individual sessions reach their max. therapeutic value in 3 -4 sessions. We believe that you can graduate to group care, or no regularly scheduled care, in this time. Our therapy sessions are specifically designed to bring needed relief in 4 sessions. We believe that most students can thrive after that with the help of ongoing group therapy if necessary. However, we will always be here for you. If, after trying our groups, you feel the need for more individual sessions, come in and see me on my new patient day and we will start another cycle. ”

Results Sessions conducted 8/21 -11/10 2017 (12 weeks) = 932 Serving 296 individual students

Results Sessions conducted 8/21 -11/10 2017 (12 weeks) = 932 Serving 296 individual students Sessions conducted 8/22 -11/10 2016 (12 weeks) = 758 Serving 252 individual students Crisis appointments 8/21 -11/10 2017 (12 weeks) = 22 Crisis appointments 8/22 -11/10 2016 (12 weeks) = 57 We believe our “same day” service model for 2017 has contributed significantly to the dramatic reduction in “Crisis” appointments. So far in 2017 NO WAIT LIST FOR SERVICES 2016 UP TO 102 DAY WAIT LIST TO HAVE APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED Savings calculation: If increase in sessions continues at the same rate observed in 12 week sample for 11 months (Counselors work an 11 month contract) the Counseling Center will be able to provide an additional 696 sessions. WITH NO WAIT LIST FOR SERVICES! To convert this additional capacity to a dollar figure we used the bottom of the insurance reimbursement scale ($55) and multiplied that figure by the additional capacity. (696 x $55 = $38, 280 worth of increased capacity)
